Just after Christmas, we got to photograph the wedding of my husband’s great friend Dan and his love Michaela. While we’re fond of all our couples, naturally it’s especially meaningful to be part of the weddings of friends. We got lucky with some warm weather (relatively speaking, of course – We’re still adjusting to not having LA temperatures while shooting!), worked with some great vendors, and to top it off, I got to spend the reception being a guest! Many thanks to Lauren Winchester for photographing that part of the day with April so that I could have some wine and dance with my hubby. Kayla and Dan (and darling Charlotte), we love you! XOXO.

As we head into our winter break, we are so happy to be sharing Karin and Craig’s out-of-this-world dreamy autumn wedding at The Mount, Edith Wharton’s estate in the Berkshires. As a novelist, this was certainly Karin’s dream wedding location, but it was also ours! We were in awe of the history, grandeur and just plain gorgeousness of The Mount. Every room was lovely – A wedding photographer’s dream! Karin did all the calligraphy for the invitations and place settings herself; a huge undertaking that paid off big time. She and Craig also had incredibly sweet vows, and the light rain that started during the ceremony honestly just made it even more romantic. Karin and Craig, what a day! We are so honored that we got to be part of it.
It was a brisk and windy fall day on the Cape for Mary Beth & Jay’s engagement session – which was great for photos as they snuggled to keep warm! We had so much fun exploring the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Mashpee and the Sandwich Boardwalk. And we’re SUPER excited for their wedding at Alden Castle next summer. We promise it will be warmer!
Here at Sweet Monday Photography we are so grateful for all of our amazing clients who continue to invite us to be a part of their most special of days. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and please know that we will be giving thanks for you next week, as we do every day. Happy Thanksgiving! Best, April & Lindsey
Not sure whether or not to do a first look on your wedding day? Jennifer & Michael are the perfect example of how sweet, moving and intimate a first look can be. Add to that the gorgeousness that is the Boston Public Library and insanely awesome florals from our friend, Becca, at Petal Floral Design and it was a beautiful day all around. Jennifer & Michael, it was such an honor to be a part of your special day!
